January Transfer Window.
Miller11 replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we tried to just omit that particular bit of the paperwork hoping nobody would notice, as I’d be amazed if that potential expenditure would ever be sanctioned. -

I reckon a desperate, frivolous appeal is happening right now. -

It’s utterly bizarre that a multi-billion dollar industry is still reliant on physical form filling in by the sounds of things. If we are genuinely still using faxes it’s completely baffling. You’d think there’d be some sort of online portal. If there is there’s no excuses for missing deadlines. -

Cheers! Hopefully I can make it -

Am I right in thinking this game is now at Leyland? I bought the three ticket deal months ago when it was planned to be played at Ewood. Not sure if the tickets will still be valid, or if I can make it to Leyland on time. -

I still think there must have been some last minute change of tack from Venky’s, possibly after someone on the ground at Ewood pleaded a case. One minute we are scratting around trying to find players within a very limited budget and not bringing in a cheap keeper til one goes. All of a sudden we are lining up a move for an in demand premier league player, on high wages, with a big clause, where other championship clubs “couldn’t make the finances work”. Its entirely possible there was some heel dragging, back tracking or back and forth that caused delays. -

Deafening silence while the fans work themselves into a frenzy is a poor attempt at softening the blow! -

Every transfer window ends up somewhere in between better than feared, and worse than I hoped for. If we sign O’Brien it’ll be better than I expected. If we haven’t signed a striker I won’t be surprised. -

O’Brien and the Rochdale young un in, Markanday out apparently. -

I was going to say I hope the outcome is the same this time, but that breakfast was probably the high point of Slew’s stay. -

This reminds me of when I walked in to Blues bar on the first of September and Jordan Slew was sat there with his agent having breakfast. ”So you’ve signed then Jordan?” ”Fingers crossed. Hope the paperwork went through in time.” -

With the rollercoaster of deadline day, and a match, I completely forgot I took this photo this morning… Our merchandise in the totally wicked shop. The only thing I didn’t get in the snap was the few 2018 yellow away mini kits for your car. -

IF we get Undav and O’Brien through the door it’s a hell of a turnaround in a few hours. IF they do happen you have to think something has changed, perhaps Broughton has got on the blower to Balaji and explained the concept of promotion and the potential rewards. -

I’ve heard Undav back on from a couple of different people. -

Markanday loan makes sense. He’s clearly behind Dolan and needs regular minutes at this stage. Hopefully O’Brien is done and it’s just not been announced yet cos of the game 🤞🤞 -

I was hoping the match might provide a distraction…. but I suspect it will only further highlight the glaring areas for improvement in the squad. Gallagher nailed on to have an absolute nightmare and Morton with another assist for the opposition. -

My expectations of all things Rovers have been through the floor for 12 years. However, the aim should always be promotion. Successive surrenders will be unforgiveable. -

If this is true, it’s an absolutely criminal use of funds and blows holes in any future poverty pleading. -

Imaging turning down bids for Brereton in the summer, knowing full well he would leave at the end of the season for nothing when finishing in the playoffs isn’t even on the agenda. -

I’d love to know how much “not cheap” is. If we are paying significant fees to borrow players it’s another thing making a mockery of the “project”. -

I think this is why it’s so frustrating how we surrendered last season when a playoff position should’ve been absolutely nailed on 12 months ago. Realistically you need to be opportunistic and have a degree of good fortune to buck the trend, rather than a project. We aren’t as well placed this year, but another missed opportunity looks likely. Things will change regarding financial distribution down the pyramid, but it needs to be meaningful and not just token. Needs a bit of urgency too. -

Absolutely. I know there is a lot of annoyance from the Championship clubs in general about it. Fairer distribution has to happen. -

Being under an embargo wouldn’t be much of a punishment for a team that apparently can’t manage to get any signings over the line anyway.
